Habitat loss is one of the key factors underlying the decline of many waterbird species, including Siberian Crane (Grus leucogeranus), a threatened species worldwide. Wetlands are the primary stopover for many waterbirds and restoration of these wetlands involves both hydrological restoration and water resource management. To protect the stopover sites of Siberian Cranes, we collected Siberian Crane stopover numbers, meteorological and hydrological data, and remote sensing data from 2008 to 2011 in Momoge National Nature Reserve, one of the largest wetlands in northeastern China. A model was developed to estimate the suitability of Siberian Crane stopover sites. According to our results, the most suitable daily water level for Siberian Cranes between 2008 and 2012 occurred in the spring of 2008 and in the Scirpus planiculmis growing season and autumn of 2010. We suggest a season-dependent water management strategy in order to provide suitable conditions at Siberian Crane stopover sites.
栖息地丧失是许多水鸟物种数量下降的关键因素之一，其中包括世界范围内的濒危物种西伯利亚鹤（Grus leucogeranus）。湿地是许多水鸟的主要中途停留地，这些湿地的恢复涉及水文恢复和水资源管理。为了保护西伯利亚鹤的中途停留地，我们收集了2008年至2011年期间中国东北最大的湿地之一——莫莫格国家级自然保护区内西伯利亚鹤的中途停留数量、气象和水文数据以及遥感数据。开发了一个模型来估计西伯利亚鹤中途停留地的适宜性。根据我们的结果，2008年至2012年期间，西伯利亚鹤最适宜的日水位出现在2008年春季以及2010年的扁杆藨草生长季节和秋季。我们建议采用季节性的水资源管理策略，以便在西伯利亚鹤的中途停留地提供适宜的条件。
